;When were you raised to Gaidin of the Val'Cueran? Why did you choose Val'Cueran?
+
==Tower Involvement==
I was raised... end of june of 03. Never was a citizen, time as a recruit and soldier was alright, I never really got into alot of the posting stuff they did, instead I (like today) prefer more to hang out in chat and read, and/or chat with people there.
+
===Current===
I chose VC because I liked the people that were in it at the time, as well as the things that it was suppose to embody, were me. I viewed it similar to being a Scout i guess.

==Senior Member Interview==
Yes I have. They were alright, however my group social skills lack somewhat, so i was never comfortable at them. As well as due to a incident at the vegas fall ball, I can't stand to be around drunk people... lol so that puts a damper on things at least at night.
+
''July 21, 2009''
however most people do drink, and get along fine in groups, and it's a great way to meet people from far off, and a good many of them at a time :)
 
  
;What kind of music do you like?
+
*;Why did you choose Val'Cueran?
Country, and misc other songs

I chose VC because it embodied most of what I try to hold myself to, and who I think I am. Also I knew most of the company (at the time there were like 8 members.. active at least) though most have moved on now.

*;How was your time as Citizen/Recruit/Soldier?
13th Warrior, Serenity, Patton, Sound of Music
+
Never was a Cit, It didn't exist when i started lol. My time as a Recruit was short, being a recruit only like 2 months, and a Soldier 3 months I think. It was an alright time, though back then I tended to talk to mainly Senior members as there where not many others about.

I have attended many RL functions, and I tend to enjoy the smaller get togethers more. At the bigger Anni type events and now adays the FB events have 50+ people going to them, and most you get to say hi to, and that's it. You really don't get to know any of them in only a weekend. You'd need a week's time just to try and spend an Hour with each, and have the events we try and have. The events however are great! I'm glad we've added more since my first gathering.
